NOAA weather alert receivers may provide the best option for personal severe weather warning. For homes and businesses, they are much more effective than depending on outdoor warning sirens. Outdoor warning sirens are only effective when/where they can be heard.

SAME (Specific Area Message Encoding) receivers allow you to program which counties for which you wish to receive alerts. Even though they are more expensive, we highly recommend this newer style radio. Since you only receive alerts of interest to you, fewer people tend to get complacent and turn them off.
